British Columbia is the third largest Canadian provinces,both in area and population. It is nearly 1. 5 times as large as Texas,and 1       800 miles (1,280km) north from the United States border. It includes Canada's entire west coast and the islands just 2        the coast.

Most of British Columbia is mountainous,with long rugged ranges 3        north and south. Even the coastal islands are the 4        of a mountain range that existed thousands of years ago. During the last Ice Age,this range was scoured by glaciers until most of 5       was 6       the sea. Its peaks now show as islands 7        along the coast.

The southwestern coastal region has a humid mild marine 8       . Sea winds that blow in?land from the west are warmed by a current of warm water that flows 9        the Pacific Ocean. As a result,winter temperatures average above 10        and summers are mild. These warm western winds also carry 11        from the ocean.

Inland from the coast,the winds from the Pacific 12        the mountain barriers of the coast?al ranges and the Rocky Mountains. As they 13        to cross the mountains,the winds are cooled,and their moisture begins to fall as 14       ,On some of the western slopes almost 200 inches (500cm) of rain fall each year.

More than half of British Columbia is 15        forested. On mountain slopes that receive plentiful rainfall,huge Douglas firs rise in towering columns. These 16       giants often grow to be as much as 300 feet (90m) tall,17       diameters up to 10 feet (3m) . More lumber is 18        from these trees than from any other kind of trees in North 19       . Hemlock,red cedar,and balsam fir are among the other trees 20        in British Columbia.

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

 Today's American high school students are far likelier than those in the 1970s to believe they're much more likely to claim they are " straight A” students with high IQs— even though other research shows that today's students do less homework than those in the 1970s. The findings sup?port the idea that the " selfesteem" movement popular among today's parents and teachers may have gone too far.

"What this shows is that confidence has crossed over into overconfidence”，said Jean Twenge,a professor. Twenge stressed that youthful confidence isn't necessarily bad. " Young people have always had some degree of dreamy optimism,and that's probably a good thing. And setting goals for yourself is a good thing. It's just when those goals are wildly unrealistic,then that can cause trouble for everyone."

For example,young people entering the workforce may score well in job interviews if they show selfconfi?dence,but that can quickly sour if a new employer doesn't provide them with the promotions they feel they deserve. "They don't set the right goals for themselves,because they are overconfident―and that's when it blows up in their faces”，Twenge said.

The blame for all this may lie with wellintentioned adults. " These kids didn't raise themselves;they got these ideas from somewhere," Twenge said. With parents handing out endless praise,kids today readily believe they are somehow superior,she said. And teachers aren't blameless,either: high school teachers now give out an "A" grade more easily than those in the 1970s,even though today's high school students report doing less homework than students from that period.

Not everyone interpreted the new findings in the same way,however. Jennifer Crocker is a professor of psychol?ogy. Based on available academic data,today's young Americans might be right to be more selfconfident. "The fact is that we are all getting smarter―IQ is going up quite dramatically over this same period of time," Crocker noted. "Students may believe that they are getting trained better than they used to,and that they are learning skills that they didn't use to have."

23. Why does Twenge worry about overconfident teenag?ers?

   A. Because they don't do homework any more.

   B. Because the real world doesn't always meet their expectations.

   C. Because their parents don't support the " selfesteem" movement.

   D. Because their teachers expect the best performance from them.

24. What causes teenagers to have too much confidence in themselves?

   A. They were born confident in themselves.

   B. The students got the confidence from somewhere in the media.

   C. Their parents are constant to praise them for their performance.

   D. School teachers are reluctant to prize students with an "A" grade.

25. The underlined part "when it blows up in their faces" in Paragraph 3 may mean "       ”，

   A. when their goals seem more important

   B. when they encourage themselves at once

   C. when they give up their goals immediately

   D. when it suddenly goes wrong

26. Jennifer Crocker seems to think that         .

   A. it is reasonable for students to be selfconfident

   B. students are full of dreams about something unre?alistic

   C. the American students have higher TQs than those in other countries

   D. teenagers are too ready to believe they are some?how superior

iy China's first aircraft carrier began sea trials Wednesday,marking a milestone in the country's rapid military modernization and longterm strategy to challenge U. S. military su?premacy in Asia and project power far beyond Chinese shores.

The 300-meter-long carrier,based on an empty hull bought from Ukraine,sounded its horn three times as it ploughed through the morning fog around Dalian and headed out to sea,accord?ing to one witness writing on the military microblog of the staterun Xinhua News Agency.

The carrier,featuring its original skijump runway to launch fighters and a new engine and radar equipment,has been undergoing refurbishment (重新裝備) for the last decade in the north?eastern port.

Xinhua said the sea trials " would not take a long time”，without giving details of the exact duration or say what sort of tests would be carried out. " After returning from the sea trial,the aircraft carrier will continue refit and test work," it said.

The provincial Maritime Safety Authority said on its web site that all vessels will be barred (被禁止的) from entering a small section of sea off Dalian until 6 p. m. local time Aug. 14.

The launch had long been expected as final preparations of the vessel―which has yet to be named by China ― were visible from many points around Dalian and had been regularly photographed and documented online by amateur enthusiasts.

A Chinese company purchased the empty hull of a carrier called the Varyag from Ukraine in 1998 on the understanding that it would be used as a floating casino,but it was later towed (4& 曳) to Dalian via the Black Sea,the Mediterranean and the Straits of Malacca.

China officially acknowledged only last month that it was refurbishing the vessel,and tried to ease regional concerns by saying it would be used for "research,experiments and training" and would take a long time to become fully operational.

China is the only one of the five permanent members of the U. N.Security Council,which includes theU. S.，Britain,FranceandRussia,without an operational carrier.IndiaandThai?landhave a carrier each,whileJapanhas one that carries helicopters.

(   ) 1. The underlined word "milestone" in the first paragraph most probably means

   A. a significant event in one's life or in a project

   B. a special stone in a mile

   C. making an important discovery

(   ) 2. Which of the following does the passage NOT cover?

   A. A Chinese company purchased the empty hull fromUkraineas a floating casino.

   B. The first aircraft carrier ofChinais already under construction at a shipyard in Shanghai.

   C. This aircraft carrier has not been named at present.

   D. Chinais one of the five permanent members of the U. N. Security Council.

(   ) 3. What can be inferred from the last but one paragraph?

   A. China officially acknowledged that it was refurbishing the carrier.

   B. "Research,experiments and training" are the purpose of this sea trial.

   C. Though intending to own its aircraft carrier,Chinawould not threat or challenge any country purposely.

   D. Chinastill has a long way to go to make the carrier fully operational.

(   ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

   A. China Starts Aircraft Carrier Sea Trial

"It's warm,it's fun and it won't break the bank (耗盡資源) "goes the ad for a wellknown package holiday group. The top billing given to temperature in the slogan illustrates just how im?portant climate is to holidaymakers.

Some plants get so hungry they eat flies,spiders,and even small frogs. What's more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact,they're found on every continent except Antarctica.

You've probably seen a Venus' flytrap (捕蠑草) .It's often sold in museum gift stores,de?partment stores,and even supermarkets. A small plant,it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a contain?er. At the end of its stalks (莖) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger (觸發(fā)) hairs. When an insect lands on them,the trap suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so,the plant feeds on its catch.

The Venus' flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meateating plants,says Barry Meyers-Rice,the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society's Newsletter. Note: Despite any sciencefiction stories (科幻小說) you might have read,no meateating plant does any danger to humans.

Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meateating,only if it does all four of the following： " at?tract,kill,digest,and absorb" some form of insects,including flies,butterflies,and moths. Meateating plants look and act like other green plants―well,most of the time.

All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用) .Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes " meateating" plants different is their bugcatching leaves. They need insects for one reason;nitrogen (氮) .Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can't obtain by any other way. Why?

Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. " Meateating" plants can't. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil be?cause of its acidity (酸度) .So they've come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact,nutrientrich soil is poisonous to "meateating" plants. Never fertilize (施肥) them!But don't worry,either,if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive,but they'll grow very slowly.

(   ) 1. What is a Venus flytrap?

   A. It is a small plant which grows in a container.

   B. It grows 6-8 inches tall.

   C. It can attract,kill,digest and absorb some form of insects.

   D. It is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily.

(   ) 2. What can we learn from the passage?

   A. It is the bugcatch leaves make Venus flytrap different from other plants.

   B. All green plants get nitrogen from the soil.

   C. " Meateating" plants are found on every continent.

   D. Some "meateating" plants in the world do danger to humans.

(   ) 3. Why does the writer say "Never fertilize ' meateating' plants?"

   A. Though growing slowly,they don't need nitrogen.

   B. Probably because the source of nitrogen is adequate.

   C. Simply because the nutrientrich soil will do harm to them.

   D. Perhaps they can get fertilize by themselves.

(   ) 4. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

   A. Meateating Plant Does No Danger to Humans

   B. Let These Plants Swat (重?fù)? the Bugs for You

   C. No Need to Fertilize Meateating Plants

   D. No Insects,No "Meateating" Plants

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

Efforts to educate people about the risks of substance abuse (毒品濫用) seem to deter (阻止) some people from using dangerous substances,if such efforts are realistic about what is genuine?ly (真正地) dangerous and what is not. Observed declines in the use of such drugs as LSD(搖頭丸) ，PCP(迷幻藥) ，and Quaalude (安眠酮) since the early 1970s are probably related to in?creased awareness of the risks of their use,and some of this awareness was the result of warn?ings about these drugs in " underground" papers read by drug users. Such sources are influential (有4艮大的影響) ，because they do not give a simple " all drugs are terrible for you" message. Drug users know there are big variations (變化) in danger among drugs,and antidrug education that ignores or denies this is likely to be ridiculed. This is illustrated by the popularity among young marijuana (大麻) users of Reefer Madness,a widely unrealistic propaganda (宣傳) film against marijuana made in the 1930s. This film made the rounds of college campuses in the 1970s and joined rock music videos on cable television's MTV in the 1980s. Instead of deterring mari?juana use,it became a cult (風(fēng)靡一時的) film among users,many of whom got high to watch it.

Although persuasion can work for some people if it is balanced and reasonable,other peo?ple seem immune to the most reasoned educational efforts. Millions have started smoking even though the considerable health risks of smoking have been well known and publicized for years. Moreover,the usefulness of education lies in primary prevention：prevention of abuse among those who presently have no problem. Hence,Bomier's contention (看法，觀點) that "if the Pepsi generation can be persuaded to drink pop wine,they can be persuaded not to drink it while driv?ing" is probably not correct,since most drunken driving is done by people who already have significant drinking problems,and hence seem not to be dissuaded (勸阻) even by much stronger measures such as loss of a driver's license.

(   ) 5. The purpose of the passage is to show that the author thinks antidrug education

   A. has made all people see the danger of drugs

   B. has succeeded in dissuading people from using drugs

   C. has been effective only to a certain degree

   D. has proved to be a total failure

(   ) 6. What is the main reason to stop some people from using drugs?

   A. Efforts to reduce drug using.

   B. Increased awareness and warning of the risk of their use.

   C. Punishments seem to be an effective way.

   D. Primary prevention is a useful method.

(   ) 7. The message "all drugs are terrible for you" is not influential because         .

   A. it ignores the fact that drugs vary greatly in danger

   B. it gives a false account of the risks of drug use

   C. some drugs are good for health

   D. it does not appear in underground papers

(   ) 8. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

   A. Are All Drugs Terrible for You?

   B. Do People Believe What Underground Papers Say?

   C. Is There an Increased Awareness of the Risks of Drugs?

   D. Can Persuasion Reduce Drug Abuse?
